Windows 7: Various SSD dual-boot questions

Not sure what I may have done differently this go-round but I decided to quick format and reinstall the image. It now converts whichever is the currently booted OS to the drive letter "C". That cures half of what I found a bit different compared to previous multi-boot systems. Now I just don't recall being able to view the other bootable partitions (as I currently do), seems they were always hidden until booted into. Chalk it up to having been Win98/XP or do I still have an anomaly?

Should add I did use the "Add New Entry" tab for inputing the bootable OS's on the first attempt. Can only assume I may have fat-fingered the auto drive lettering in Acronis.
